GENERAL PRINCIPLESTitle applicati
15、on and extent 2.1. The title of this document is the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement, third edition, which is abbreviated to CESMM3. CESMM3 is intended to be used in conjunction with the Conditions of Contract and only in connection with civil engineering works and simple building w
16、orks incidental to engineering works.2.2. CESMM3 provides for simple building works incidental to civil engineering works to be measured in accordance with class Z. CESMM3 does not deal with the preparation of Bills of Quantities for complex mechanical or electrical engineering work, or complex buil
17、ding work or work which is seldom countered in civil engineering contracts. Where any such work is to be included in a Contract for civil engineering work, it shall be itemized and described in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient detail to enable tenderers to price it adequately and the method of m
18、easurement shall be stated in the Preamble to the Bill of Quantities in accordance with paragraph 5.4.Object of CESMM32.3. The object of CESMM3 is to set forth the procedure according to which the Bill of Quantities shall be prepared and priced and the quantities of work expressed and measured. Obje
19、cts of the Bill of Quantities 2.4 The objects of the Bill of Quantities are (a) to provide such information of the quantities of work as to enable tenders to be prepared efficiently and accurately (b) when a Contract has been entered into, to provide for use of the priced Bill of Quantities in the v
20、aluation of work executed.2.5. In order to attain these objects, work should be itemized in the Bill of Quantities in sufficient detail for it to be possible to distinguish between the different causes of work, and between work of the same nature carried out in different rations or in any other circ
21、umstances which may give rise to different considerations of cost. Consistent with these requirements the layout and content of the Bill of Quantities should be as simple and brief as possible.2.6 All work which is expressly required should be covered in the Bill of Quantities.2.7. CESMM3 seeks to a
22、ttain these objects principally by the use of the Work Classification. This defines(a) how work is to be divided into separate items in the Bill of Quantities(b) the information to be given in item descriptions(c) the units in which the quantities against each item are to be expressed(d) how the wor
23、k is to be measured for the purpose of calculating quantities.SECTION3. APPLICATION OF THE WORK CLASSIFICATIONItem description3.1. The Work Classification divides work commonly encountered in civil engineering contracts into 26 main classes. Each class comprises up to three divisions which classify
24、work at successive levels of detail. Each division comprises a list of up to eight descriptive features of work. Each item description in the Bill of Quantities shall identify the component of work covered with respect to one feature from each division of the relevant class, e.g.Class H (precast con
25、crete) contains three divisions of classification. The first classifies different types of precast concrete units. the second classifies different units by their dimensions, and the third classifies them by their mass. Each item description for precast concrete units shall therefore identify the com
26、ponent of work in terms of the type of unit, its dimensions and mass.Mode of description3.2. To avoid unnecessary length, item descriptions for Permanent Works shall generally identify the component of the Works and not the tasks to be carried out by the Contractor, e.g.An item should be described a
27、s Plain round mild steel bar reinforcement to BS 4449 nominal size 20 mm, not as Supply, deliver, cut, bend and fix plain round mild steel bar reinforcement to BS 4449 nominal size 20 mm.3.3. Where the work identified by an item is specifically limited, the limitation shall be stated in the item des
28、cription, e.g.Plain round mild steel bar reinforcement to BS 4449 nominal size 20 mm excluding supply and delivery to the Site.Item descriptions for work which is divided between two classes require such limitations to be stated, e.g.Item descriptions for miscellaneous metalwork inserts which are to
29、 be cast into concrete require appropriate additional description if items are give, in both class G for casting in the inserts and class N for supplying the inserts.3.4. The work shall be divided into items in the Bill of Quantities so that the component of work which is included in each item does
30、not exhibit more than one feature from each division of any one class of the Work Classification, e.g.One item for precast concrete work shall not include more than one of the types of concrete unit listed in the first division of class H, neither shall it include different units whose dimensions ar
31、e not within one of the classifications listed in the second division of class H, nor shall it include different units whose mass does not lie within one of the ranges listed in the third division of class H.3.5. The unit of measurement for each item shall be that stated for the item in the Work Cla
32、ssification. The unit of measurement stated against a descriptive feature in the Work Classification shall apply to all items to which that descriptive feature applies.3.6 Measurement rules in the Work Classification set out the conditions under which work shall be measured and the method by which t
33、he quantities shall becomputed if other than in accordance with paragraph 5.18.3.7 Definition rules in the Work Classification define the extent and limits of the class of work represented by a word or expression used in the Work Classification and in a Bill of Quantities prepared in accordance with
34、 CESMM3.3.8 Coverage rules in the Work Classification provide that the work stated is deemed to be included in the appropriate items to the extent that such work is included in the Contract. A coverage rule does not state all the work covered by an item and does not preclude any of the work stated b
35、eing covered by a Method-Related Change.3.9 Description of an item in addition to that required in accordance with paragraph 3.1 shall be given where required by any provision of section 5 or by any applicable additional description rule in the Work Classification. Where additional description is gi
36、ven, a separate item shall be given for each component of work exhibiting a different additional feature, e.g.Additional description rule Al of class H requires that the specification of the concrete in each precast concrete unit shall be stated. Accordingly, this rule also means that separate items
37、 shall be given for units cast from concrete of different specifications.3.10 Where a descriptive feature in the Work Classification identifies a range or group of dimensions and an applicable additional description rule requires the particular dimension to be stated, the range or group of dimension
38、s shall not also be stated, e.g.Additional description rule A2 of class I requires that the nominal bores of pipes shall be stated in item descriptions. The range of nominal bore taken from the second division of the classification of class I shall not also be stated.3.11. Rules printed on a right-h
39、and page above a double line apply to all work in the class. Other rules on a right-hand page apply to particular groups of items as shown by the classification table.SECTION 4. CODING AND NUMBERING OF ITEMSCoding4.1 For convenience of reference each item in the Work Classification has been assigned
40、 a code number consisting of a letter and not more than three digits. The letter corresponds to the class in the Work Classification in which the item occurs and the digits give the position of the item in the first, second and third divisions of the class, e.g.Code H 1 3 6 identifies an item asclas
41、s H precast concretefirst division 1 beamssecond division 3 length 7-10 mthird division 6 mass 5-10 t4.2 The symbol * is used in the rules to the Work Classification to indicate all numbers in the appropriate division, e.g.H 1 3 * means the group of code numbers from H 1 3 1 to H 1 3 8 inclusive.Ite
42、m numbers 4.3 Code numbers may be used to number the items in the Bill of Quantities, the items within the Bill of Quantities being listed in order of ascending code numbers.4.4. Code numbers used as item numbers in the Bill of Quantities shall not for part of the item descriptions or be taken into
43、account in the interpretation of Contract.Coding of unclassified items4.5. Where a feature of a item is not listed in the Work Classification the digit 9 shall be used in the appropriate positions in the code number.4.6 Where there is an item to which a division of classification does not apply or f
44、or which fewer than three divisions of classification are given the digit 0 shall be used in the appropriate position in the code number.Numbering of items with additional description4.7. Additional description given for an item in accordance with paragraph 3.9 is not represented by the code number.
45、 Where code numbers are used as item numbers a suffix number shall be used to distinguish items which have the same code number but different additional description. e.g. Additional description rule Al of class H requires that additional description be given for precast concrete units stating their
46、position 1, the Works and the specification of the concrete used. If three items are required within one part of the Bill of Quantities to allow for precast concrete beams having the same code but different additional description, the items should be numberedH 1 3 6 . 1H 1 3 6 . 2H 1 3 6.SECTION 5.
47、PREPARATION OF THE BILL OF QUANTITIESMeasurement of completed work5.1 Appropriate provisions of this section shall also apply to the measurement of completed work.Sections of the Bill of Quantities5.2 The Bill of Quantities shall be divided into the following sections,(a)List of principal quantities(b) Preamble (c) Daywork Schedule(d) Work items (gr
